Consumer lists allow companies to advertise their products and services directly to a desired audience by way of direct mail, email, and telemarketing. Gone are the days of paging through the white pages and crossing your fingers that the number you are about to dial will possibly fit the demographic you are looking for. Not only is this the hard way to do things, it’s not exactly legal anymore thanks to the FTC’s heavily regulated ‘Do Not Call Registry’. In this article, we’ll talk about the top 5 industries that use Consumer lists and why they are essential to building a solid customer base.
Retail
A retail company is any business that sells goods or merchandise directly to consumers from a specific location, whether it is a kiosk in a shopping mall or your favorite coffee shop. Whether a retailer is publicly or privately owned, they must use a consumer mailing list in order to perform a residential direct mail campaign. Publicly-owned retailers with hundreds of locations usually rely on an advertising firm to handle much of their marketing; which may include direct mail campaigns, magazine advertisements, television commercials, and other ‘big-budget’ forms of advertising. Among all of these options, direct mail is still one of the most popular and effective forms of marketing.
Real Estate
Real estate agents and managers rely on consumer lists to mail out letters and postcard advertisements regarding their real estate listings along with their general real estate services. Regular mailings to consumers are necessary in the real estate market mainly due to heavy competition. Many seasoned agents have learned they will save money by going after their target demographic market vs. using a non-targeted list.
